Re: Johnson PO-15 throttle cable

[Buccaneer]

George, thanks for your reply. A cable as you described came with the
carburetor (carb was missing when I purchased the PO) but I
assumed it was incorrect as all the photos of PO’s I’ve seen had
the lawn mower type cables.
Your correct in that the original type cable is very stiff, and I
couldn’t get the inner cable to "push" through the sheath,
but would pull stiffly. For some reason, one end of the original
cable had been ground with a taper.
I seem to remember working on a small engine that had the lawn mower
type cable, and it had a bushing on the end that more or less screwed
onto the spiral wound cable sheath.
Not sure if I can find such a critter, so will make a bushing and
secure it somehow to the cable.
Thanks!

Prepare to be boarded!
